    Service from everyone was bad and food was not worth the value.

    Food was bland . The ambience & view is nice but that’s it. We went for Mother’s Day 4 course & to be quite frank we could’ve made tastier food. Save your money & try castaway, a bit more more pricey but so worth it

    The place was very lovely and our server was very polite. Unfortunately the experience wasn’t that pleasant due too the open doors and no heat control.

    Beautiful scenery, excellent service and amazing food. Had an amazing cocktails and dinner experience. The ceviche was fresh and full of flavor. Hanger steak cooked perfectly. Our server was so attentive when needed and left us alone when needed. We will definitely be back here very soon.
